Abstract
In this paper, a meshless Galerkin boundary node method is developed for boundary-only analysis of the interior and exterior incompressible viscous fluid flows, governed by the Stokes equations, in biharmonic stream function formulation. This method combines scattered points and boundary integral equations. Some of the novel features of this meshless scheme are boundary conditions can be enforced directly and easily despite the meshless shape functions lack the delta function property, and system matrices are symmetric and positive definite. The error analysis and convergence study of both velocity and pressure are presented in Sobolev spaces. The performance of this approach is illustrated and assessed through some numerical examples.
